FAQ
Will hiding Row and Column Headings affect spreadsheet editing?
- No. It does not affect cell content, formulas, or scrolling.
- Hiding the feature only removes the visible row numbers and column letters from the worksheet view.
- If you need to locate cells again more easily, turn the headings back on.
Why did the change apply to only one worksheet?
- The Row and Column Headings setting affects only the current worksheet display.
- If you switch to another worksheet, set it again there if needed.
- To keep a consistent view, check the display state sheet by sheet.
Are Row and Column Headings printed?
- On-screen row and column headings are mainly used for viewing and navigation.
- Printed output usually does not include these on-screen aids by default.
- If you need them in print, review the available print settings for your workflow.
